I got one of the smaller 'Dragons' sets just to see what it was like, how
the figs looked and (shh tell noone - if any of the parts would be useable
with LEGO)
I found the build quality to be far superior than the absolute pile of ####
it used to be, but, and its a big but, lets put it in caps BUT .. the way
they had applied the paint to the bricks to define them (drybrushing??)
meant that they would not click together without considerable force. By that
I mean placing one brick on a flat surface and placing one on top with all
my weight. I ended up with 2 pieces which refuse to part and stud marks in
my hand.. I can't see kids doing too well using them. I guess with repeated
use (if you can get them together and apart enough if at all) the paint may
wear off where it shouldn't be, but is it worth bothering ???
